I'm not sure if this helps but mine do the exact same thing. I get them about where I want them then fine tune with the individual switches. My drives trim at different rates as well.

You need to open the motor up and clean the surface the brushes ride on, they get corrosion there and slow down.

While your in there grease the bushing between the valve body motor. They get dry and turn hard after a while too.
